Share Your Bug Reports with AppleVis
If you experience a bug in Apple Beta Software, the most important thing you can do is to file a report in Feedback Assistant. Please do not assume that Apple is already aware of a bug or that your report won't make a difference; your report may provide crucial information, and submitting bug reports directly to Apple helps them reproduce and resolve the issue faster. The more reports they receive, the higher the priority Apple is likely to give to fixing the bug.
If you are using beta software, please use the Feedback Assistant on your device to submit feedback and bug reports. If you are using a public release, this blog post explains how to report the issue and what information to include.
In 2025, AppleVis launched the Community Bug Reporting Program with the goal of improving the quality and quantity of information we share with the community about bugs in Apple software releases. If you would like to contribute to this effort, please submit your reports via our Community Bug Report Form.
All reports shared with AppleVis must first be filed with Apple via Feedback Assistant. More information about the Community Bug Program is available here.

I have iPadOs 14 on my 6th…
I have iPadOs 14 on my 6th generation iPad, and have played with some or all of the new features. As it's on iPad, not iPhone as in iOs 14, I can't speak of that just because I keep my only iPhone on the latest public release, iOs 13.5.1, and shall wait until perhaps a later beta or, if we get it this year, a GM or I may even wait until the official release as with the case with me last year as there was no public GM of iOs 13.0. Just me though, and I respect everyone's choice. First impressions of iPadOs 14 is good and looks relatively stable compared to the first public beta of iPadOs 13 last year.

Youtube 9to5 did a nice video about it.
Considering joining the iOS 14 beta
I have been a beta tester for many products over many years. I've always been reluctant to try and iOS beta since I only have one iOS device...my iPhone which I use all the time.
Anyway, I am just wondering how stable Apple's betas are and if it is worth testing the beta. although I realize there is always risk in running a beta, I have found that most beta programs I test are reasonably robust. Plus one can archive one's system.
The main reason I would consider being a beta tester is to provide Apple with feedback on accessibility issues as early in the development process as possible so that they might actually be fixed!
Anyway, just wondering what experiences and thoughts other people have.
Thanks.

Fair question, but impossible to answer in detail
That's a fair question Pete. Trouble is, I've no idea how it would be possible to answer it with a decent level of detail without breaching the "Discussion of bugs introduced or fixed in a beta release" aspect of AppleVis' guidelines. Tired old topic I know, but still worth pointing out IMO.
Personally, I'm sitting this one out. My success rate for fixes on previous public betas was negligible, and it seems like the time I set aside for advocacy each week is better spent elsewhere. I can tell you that here, the previous public betas I've used from Apple were stable enough that I felt comfortable running them on my daily driver device with regular backups.
Hope that helps a bit.
Beta
From what I hear on youtube, it is very stable and is doing well. Reports states that it does take lot of memory.
